And you know what this means.
People will be running around drunker than two cats at a Parisian circus.
If you weren't aware, Thanksgiving Eve is the new New Years Eve-
only it's ten times better because there's no pressure to wear a tight shiny dress
or go to some stupid club you'd never normally go to.
Nope, tonight it's your hometown hole-in-the-wall bar's night to shine.
And it will, indeed it will.
Thanksgivings of the past: Cabo.
After giving this some thought, here's why I think people are in such a jolly mood on this
particular night:
1. Because they don't have to work tomorrow.
And any day off during the middle of the week is a mini vacation.
Sad but oh so true...
2. Their mom will be cooking for them tomorrow.
Unless you still live with your parents, this is pretty damn awesome in itself.
3. For the next 24 hours the only thing on one's agenda will be "to eat."
Hells.
4. And then to reheat the food to eat again four hours later.
Oh hells.
5. This is the one day of year Americans have the right to eat all damn day until
they are literally sick,
and can feel patriotic about it.
6. Because it's nice to break up your regular Thursday night routine
by not having to pretend you still like The Office.
7. The Turkey Wishbone.
Name me another bone in a animal's body that grants you a wish if broken correctly.
See, you just can't beat it.
8. Stuffing.
Any other time of the year it would probably be illegal to eat something that you have stuffed inside
of a dead body.
9. Turkey cookies.
They were fun in the 90's and they're fun now.
10. Because the day after is Black Friday.
And after we've all said what we're thankful for it's always fun to go beat the shit out of
each other to acquire even more things to be "thankful for."
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
This is the first year my family hasn't celebrated in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in over six years.
It's gonna be strange eating turkey rather than tacos.
But it's totally okay.
We're gonna do it "big city" style this year in Chicago, instead.
I'm sure we'll go toss a football in the park and wear a turkey on our head
like all of the big city dwellers supposedly do.
And on that note,
I'm out.
Love, Peace, and Turkey Grease.
